I think this one nearly made the FedEx man keel over. |

A few weeks ago, my dear friend Brandon said he had a surprise for me and asked for my address. After much poking, prodding, and prying, I finally got him to tell me that the surprise was a NIB set of Hoover Concept One attachments. Feeling very lucky and happy, I gave him the address, and waited.
When I received the email from FedEx yesterday that the package had been shipped, I almost sh** a cinderblock upon seeing that the box weighed nearly 70 pounds! I said to myself, "Self, HOW does a set of attachments weigh that much?!"
This morning, I was sitting in the living room watching television when the FedEx truck pulled up the street. Picture it. Fat, balding delivery guy huffing and puffing as he schleps a gigantic box up the front walkway to the porch. I thought the poor devil would collapse on the spot!
The pictures will do some more explaining. |
